Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1204

Bella glanced at him with surprise, only feeling that it was weird that he talked about this with her, as they didn't seem quite acquainted with each other.

She didn't grow up in Riverside City, as her parents, Arthur and Jean, lived in Zoshalor for a long time. She only lived in her grandparents' house in Riverside City when she was on holiday. It was only during holidays that she would get together with Benedict, Alana, and the rest.

In eighth grade, she moved back to Riverside City with her parents. Her grandfather died that year, so her grandmother suggested that her parents should move back to Riverside City. It would be bad for the couple to live in Zoshalor all the time without taking care of Arthur's parents in Riverside City.

Thus, she and her grandmother came to Riverside City with her parents. But at that time, Alana, Alaric as well as Benedict, were all in high school and about to take part in college admission tests, so they didn't have much time to get out together.

Later, when Alana and others finished their examination, Bella and Christina were in high school. With academic pressure, she only met her peers on holidays.

In addition, due to the gender gap, she was close to Alana and Christina and had little interaction with boys. Likewise, those boys often played ball, and games, and had fun together without involving the girls.

So, she wasn't quite acquainted with Benedict who gave her the impression that he, as the eldest kid among them, was unapproachable.

In her eyes, he had always behaved in a mature manner. Moreover, he was outstanding in all aspects such as academic ability, and was a boy wonder that everyone praised.

But her surprise did not distract her from what she was about to say.

She spoke after a moment of deliberation, "Well ... what I'm going to say may be a bit unbelievable to you, so if you can't accept it, just forget about it."

"Oh?" Benedict raised his eyebrows with slight confusion. What shocking words could she say to him?

As he stared at her with sharpness and hidden emotions in his eyes, Bella was somehow guilty. She felt that the marriage of convenience that she was going to propose was an insult to him.

But there was no turning back.

She took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you are in love with anyone now, and if you are, please ignore my words as well."

"If you don't love anyone, I'd like to propose that we get married instead?"

Bella could see Benedict frown slightly after hearing those words. But she couldn't tell what kind of emotions he had. Benedict was two years older than her, and seemed indifferent toward anything, so Bella could not read his mind.

Then she hastily added, "That ... is a marriage of convenience. I think we are a good match in various aspects, such as the family background. Besides, our parents have been friends for many years, and we know each other's character very well. There will be no family conflicts if we get married."

As soon as Bella finished her words, she saw Benedict's face turn gloomy, which startled her.

The next second, Benedict moved closer to her with a sullen face. His long eyes were filled with surging rage, "A marriage of convenience?"

"So, Bella, this is your view of marriage?"

"So, if I don't say yes, you'll go on to ask others?"

After growing up, Bella prided herself on being calm no matter what happened. However, when faced with Benedict's unexpected anger, she was at a loss.

Scared by him, she only recovered herself after taking two steps back.

She stood still and tried to keep calm before saying, "Hey, why are you so scary? I already reminded you beforehand. If you are unwilling, then forget it."

As she said this, Bella glanced at Benedict's expression, feeling that he got angry for no reason. Moreover, she felt as if he would strangle her to death the next moment.

"I am scary? Heh." Benedict didn't care if she was scared or not. He took several steps closer until he cornered her against a wall behind her. Then he leaned down slightly and sneered at her, "You caused it."
